Executing a Batch file on a Azure Virtual Machine from outside the VM












0















I have an Azure VM running Windows 2016 Datacentre with a programme developed in R and RMarkdown. I can run the R script from the command line on the virtual machine (rather than from within the R/RStudio environment), and so therefore have I have a created a batch file with said command.



I now want to run this batch file on a schedule or from a trigger from outside the VM. How can I do this? From my Azure portal I've tried Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps but I have not found a straightforward way to run the script.



Any help/advice greatly appreciated? Many thanks.
